Iff PARIS AT LAST. The new thi noroiDg thows that the QoTWout tfoopa and tbo insurgents are at oloao aaarters in tbe ftreets of Pari. ( 'The VersailliaU effected their first oatraooa within the walls on Sunday afternoon, and for tbo aext twenty-fonr hoars poared large masses of troops into tbe city, no til tbe force yesterday ning reached seventy or sigbty thousand man. Marshal MacMahon bad established bis keadqnarters in tbe city, and waa paabing bis troops against the ' barricades erected in the streets by tbe Commnaista. The slaughter of OoTern-ment troops in attacking these defences, with erery boose on each side of them an improvised fortrtsa, most bare been fearful. The insurgents were making tbeir final stand at the Hotel de Tille, bat every confidence is expressed in tbe speedy and complete triumph of tbe Government. The Commune organization may fall to pieces at any moment. THE ' COtTTr C!rTK?rTIO!f. For a detailed report of the proceedings of the Demoeratio County Convention, including tbe vote cast at the primary elections, as canvassed by tbe County Committee, tbe reader is referred to another part of to-day's paper. . Tbe ticket nominated baa already been indicated. Messrs. Clark Wnrra and Wm. L. Robs for Representatives have both had legislative experience, are gen tlemen of practical abilities and high integrity of character. Sheri ff Thom pson, renominated, is justly held in great esteem by citizens of every shade of politics. He baa made one of tbe beet Sheriff tbe county has ever bad. We hardly think the opposition will go through tbe idle formality of patting up a candidate against him. Mr. Lokwknstzix, renominated for Clerk of Court by a pin. rality of over five hundred votes, has also made a most efficient officer during his term of service. Prompt, courteous, and faithful in tbe discbarge of all duties, bis office is a model one for the speedy and correct transaction of business. J. P. Bkcck for Commissioner, Taxft-TomHOFF for Infirmary Directory, Patrick Eagan for Coroner, and Josiah Kixxxar for Connty Surveyor, bave all been renominated for tbe - respective offices they now fill ; and fill, , so far as we bave beard, to tbe public satisfaction. The number of votes cast in the county at tbe primary election was in the neigh borhood of 3,500 a little in excess of one-half tbe Democratic vote of last fall. : The Convection decided it to be inexpedient to lay down any platform in view of the near approach of the State Convention. A resolution was adopted ioatraeting the delegates elected to tbe State Convention to support General Thomas Ewiho for Governor. Tbe del- . egation is a strong one, and is beaded by tbe names of Hon. II. J. Jiwrrr and 'Colonel Gkorge W. Manypksny. We thick It was an absurdity to instruct these gentlemen and thpir associates fcr General Ewixo or any other person men tioned In connection witb tbe guberna' torial nomination. They are perfectly competent to take a sensible view of tbe field, and determine,' on their own responsibility as Democrats, who it 1s to the interest of tbe party to nominate. We say this in no spirit of opposition to General Ewing, for we believe be is the first choice of the delegation and of tbe Democracy of the connty; but we believe it to be inexpe dient in view of tbe exceptional character of tbe political situation to hamper the i 4alMataa bv instractions. They shonld be allowed the fullest liberty to do what will best promote Demooratie success, . and a sale conclusion on in at point can twi iwanhak aftar eansnltation with reoresentativea from all parte of the , State. Tbe method of making future nomina tioos was referred to tbe county committee. The popular vote system would he generally acceptable but for the fact t that it places tbe country districts at a disadvantage. Some medium gronnd should be arrived at which will do equal and exact justice to both town and : , country. TBLBOBIBI IN BaYIK. - ? ,.

The Ver sailles army has occupied Paris, and the headquarters of Marshal MacMahon have been established at the new Opera House. The headquarters of General Cissey, whose forces entered tbe city from tbe south, are in the Eoole Militaire, which fronts tbe Champs de Mars. There was a great explosion this atternoon near the Esplanade des Invalidea. The city is in tremendous commotion. From the windows in the west front of the Tull- leries, tbe scene of conflict can be distinctly seen. An immense body of Com mune troops bave concentrated around tbe Hotel de Ville, having retreated from the outskirts. The collapse of the Commune is imminent. World's Special. " A IX IS OVER." Paris, May.22. All is over. Seventy thousand Versaillists have entered the city, and more are now coming. They marched in all night, coming through six gates, and met with bob slight reaist- . Tbe barricades were not defended, and no mioee were exploded. The Versaillists are now moving on the Hotel de Ville, where the Communists will make their last stand.

General Lenoir was shot this morning on tbe east square of the Tuilleries, on a charge of treason to tbe Commune. Tbe commotion in the city is culminating. ROCHEFORT'S MARROW ESCAPE. London, May 22. Roohefrt bad a narrow escape from lynching at Versailles. He was expected at Brussels on Saturday last. Versailles,. May 22. Eighty thou sand Versaillist troops bave entered Paris. A sharp cannonade is beard, doubtless against tbe barricade near tbe Arch of Trinmpb. General Uhrich took six hundred prisoners last night, and four hundred, including Assy, were sent to Versailles. Dombrowski is reported to bave been taken prisoner by the Versailles troops and recaptured by his own men, and has since made an attempt to escape from Paris. It is now stated that he and his command are surrounded and will probably be captured. , THE 8CCCI8S OF THE VERSAILLES OOV- KRMENT London, May 22. All communication with Paris is suspended. The Northern Railroad has been cnt by the Prussians. The bombardment of tbe fortifications of Paris still held by the Federalists con tinnes. A dispatch from Versailles says Paris is completely isolated by the Prus sians and no one has arrived from there sinoe midnight. The Timet dispatch at Versailles says half the army is within tbe walls and holds tbe gates of St. Cloud, Passy Antenil, Troeadero, and Muette, as well as the Arch of Trinmpb. Heavy firing ia heard in tbe Champs Elysees. Sixteen thousand Versailles troops entered Van Girard and Montrouge. THE ENTRY INTO PARIS. New York, May 22. A special cor respondent at Versailles last night tele graphed fall particulars of the manner the Government forces entered Paris. Captain Treogo, of the navy, went from the trenches to the ramparts at Pont de Jour, and finding the insurgents retired called three hundred sailors and took possession of tbe gate. Other troops followed, and before any one was aware the entry bad commenced. Not a rifle fired, nor a man wounded. The whole thing was unexpected. A white flag was bung out at AnteuiL Another brigade of Versaillists has entered Porte Montrouge, and troops are pouring down on both sides. It is reported that the Arc de Triomphe bas been erected, and that tbe insurgents made bnt .a slight resistance. The gnns on tbe rampart have been turned on the Communists. Twenty thousand men are under Issy, and forty thousand ere moving on the open gates. ANOTHER STORY. A Paris special Kays that on Sunday afternoon three squadrons cf cavalry were reviewed amid tremendous excitement. Generals Henri and Fortune presented them with standards, and tbey shouted, "We ; will defend them till death." Soon- afterwards Petit Vanvres was evacuated in order to obtain shelter in Montronge. - Extraordinary rumors "feanoai. It is reported that the Ver aillista have been repulsed. Mounted orderlies bave just arrived at the War office with news that Colonel Lis bourne, commanding the Franc Tireurs, started immediately to attack the Versaillists in tbe flank.

The Senate was engaged five hours to day on the treaty. Messrs. Davis, of Kentucky, and Tburman, of Ohio, made speeches; though not opposing the treaty they severally indicated amendments which they desired to be made. It is said the latter gentleman expressed a doubt as to the wisdom of incorporating in tbe new rules or in tbe laws of nations, the prohibition against neutrals building or equipping vessels for bellig erents, believing that this subject should be left to the operation of municipal law. Thus far but one Senator has mentioned bow he will vote on the treaty, and this will be in opposition to it. SUDDEN ILLNESS OF MR. COLFAX. During tbe proceedings to-day, near the close of tbe session, Vice President Colfax, feeling sick, requested Senator Pomeroy to occupy bis place. Directly the latter reached the chair Colfax left tbe platform, and on his way out, suddenly becoming dizzy would bave fallen heavily to the floor but for the efforts of Mr. Blagg, principal legislative clerk, who was conducting him from the Chamber. Major McDonald, chief clerk, and Captain Bassett, door-keeper, immediately repaired to the scene, as did Senators in that vicinity, and be was conveyed to bis room. The occurrence caused a temporary sensation. Business was resumed as soon as it was ascertained that the sickness was not believed to be of an alarming character. Tbe remainder of tbe session was consumed in desultory conversation as to fixing some time for taking a vote on the ratification of tbe treaty. No conclusion was reached on that question. Several Senators said this eveniuc that the Sen- ate will probably vote on the ratification j on Wednesday or Thursday,' while another one remarked that an effort will S be made to-morrow to complete the business, even if a night session be necessary ' for that purpose. When Vice President Colfax was car- Iried to his room he was laid npon a sofa, and Drs. Bliss and MoCoy promptly . summoned. Tbey immediately applied proper remedies, wnen tne patient seemed to be much relieved. After the joarnment of the Senate, numerous Senators of both parties visited him. Mr. Colfax's sickness was probably causea uy iuo oiuoe atmosphere iu the Senate Chamber, as all the doors are closed during the executive sessions. The Vice President remained at bis room in the cnpitol, and was to-night conversing with friends. THE TREATY PUBLICATION. The Senate select committee on privileges held a long session to-night at the Capitol. They examined among others the foreman of the Government printing offioe and Mr. C A. Tinker, Superintendent of the Western Union Telegraph Company's office in this city. The object in summoning the latter was doubtless for the purpose of requiring him to produce before the committee the manu script copy of the Treaty telegraphed here on the night of the 11th. PROCEEDINGS OF THE SENATE. Mr. Sumner risinor to a personal expla nation called attention to what purport ed to be a report of a speech made by bim last Friday in executive session published in the New .York Herald of Saturday. Mr. Trumhnll, interrupting, remarked, "and so ofall reports of executive sessions of several days past, thev were all inventions." Mr. Sumner, resuming, said that all reports which he had seen of what were called his speech- were pure invention, tie hoped wher ever these reports had gone this contra diction would lollow. t isner Ames saia that a lie would travel from Maine to Georgia while truth was patting on his boots. Mr. Wilson otlerred a resolution which lies over, that the Sergeant-at- Arms be directed to discharge .. L. White and H. J. Ramsdall immediately after the final adjonrnment of the special session of the Senate, Mr. Edmunds remarked that as the Senator from Massachusetts had seen proper to make a personal explanation he wished to say, as a report appeared a dav or two azo that be bad made speech expressing great hostility to the Dress, ttaat be baa maae no speecn wnat- var on the subject or on anvthiocr else. The subject of the press was not alluded to in executive cession ty any senator. Mr. Sumner ottered a resolution, which lies ever, that Messrs. White and Hams dell, who are in the close custody of the Sereeant-at-Arms, be discharged from custody forthwith. Mr. Pomeroy ottered a resolution, wmcb was adopted, that the clerks of tbe sev. eral standing committees be paid from tbe 1st to tbe 3 1st ot May. Mr. Trumbull, from tbe Committee on Judiciary, to whom was referred the reso lution to inquire wbetber Senators are entitled to mileage for attendiug the present extraordinary session, reported thereon to the effect that Senators are not. under the law. entitled to in i lease On motion of Mr. Cameron, the Senate went into executive session. THE RETICENT CORRESPONDENTS The act of 1857 provides that when any witness shall refuse to answer ques tions put oy any committee oi citner branob of Congress, the fact shall be re ported to the Senate or House, when it shall be the duty of the presiding officer to certify the same to the District Attor ney, in order tbat ine matter may be brought before the grand jury. The Vice President, on Saturday, followed this course with regard to Messrs. White and Kamsdeil. PAYING BACK THK STATUS. Seoretary Boutwell has given some at tention to the quest ion of paying the in terest on the moneys advanced for war purposes by the several States. The sub ject has ali6ady been discussed in Con Kress. The amount of this interest would it is calculated, be about fifty per cent of the whole claim. Some States as, for instance, Indiana and Minnesota sold their bonds at a large discount in order to secure the needed funds for eqnippin and sending troops forward This di 1 count is made a claim against the General Government. If this is abandoned, bow ever, Treasury officials believe that the claims for interest may yet be allowed by Congress. SUPERVISOR FOB SOUTHERN OHIO. R. G. Corwine has been nominated as Internal Revenue Supervisor for the Southern Distriot of Ohio. Mr.Dwyer will remain in charge of the Northern District 8ELF-8USTAIKUCO POSTAL SERVICE. The Postoffioe Department is congratulating itself on the increased prospect of making tne postal service seit-sustaimng.

Woodhnll has addressed a letter to the New York papers. Apropos of the recent law suit, she says that one of the charges made against her ia tbat "I lived in the same house with my former husband, Dr. Woodhnll, and my present husband, Colonel Blood. This is a fact. Dr. Woodhnll being sick and incapable of self-support, I felt it my duty to myself and human nature tbat be should be cared for. Although his inca pacity was in no wise attributable tome, my present husband, Colonel Blood, not only approves of this charity, but co operates in it. I esteem it one of the most virtuous acts oi my me, nut various editors have stigmatized me a living example of immorality and nnchastity. I do not intend to be made the scapegoat to be offered as a victim to society, by those wh9 cover over the foulness of their lives and frnitfulness of their thoughts with a hypocritical mantle of fair professions, and by diverting public attention from their own iniquity, in pointing the finger at me. I know that many of my self-appointed judges and critics are deeply troubled with the vices tbey condemn. I live in the house with one who was my husband. I live as wife with one who is ray husband. I believe in spiritualism. I am an advo cate of free love, in its highest and purest sense, as the only cure for the immorality, the deep damnation by which men corrupt and disfigure God's most holy institution, the sexual relation." CRIMINAL MATTERS. Alfred Zeigenmeyer, the young Ger man arrested in Europe and brought to tnis city by captain uixon and Sergeant Rehm, of the Chicago police, charged ith having murdered and robbed his friend and companion, William Gamble-ton, last evening started for Chicago in company with his captors. one jobn Maboney was arrested yes terday in Jersey City on the supposition of having murdered and horribly mutilated his brother three weeks ago. The lfticnlty is supposed to have grown ont of the murdered man's intention to compete with bis brother in business. Another car-hook tragedy is reported. This time the car driver used that instru ment npon the driver of a cart in an altercation that took place on Saturday atternoon, in liariem. caused by a collision between the cart and car.

ASSEMBLY P recreates; af Yesterday' Seaaiea Krpart af the Caanmittee aa Charvh Errrtiaa Mlalialica af Ai, Chicago, May , lg7i, The Presbyterian General Assembly met at nine o'clock this morning. Half an hour was devoted to prayer meeting- Two communications from the Presby terian Historical Society, addressed the Moderator, were referred to the Com mittee on Bills and Overtures. On motion of F.x Governor Pollock, the following resolution of fraternal greeting was called np from the docket, adopted, and ordered to be transmitted in the usual official forms: f : Betolred, That tbe Baptist Church now by the annual meetings of its societies aesemsied in this eity et Chicago, tbe Moderator and Stated Clerk of the Assembly, are requested to express our fraternal greeting, our prayers foe the blessing of God on their present meetings. and ear congratulations npon their suc- eeav ana nope, tor tbeir luture pros-perityi' The report on the Say re Institute, at Lekiogton, Kentucky, was taken up from the docket and referred to tbe special eommittee composed Of C. Perkins, chairman, and Messrs. Pollock, - Ernst, Ely and McKee, after a running debate of some length. . The delivery of the memorial sermon by Rev. Dr.' Prentiss- and one by Rev, Thomas H. Skinner, was changed- to Thursday evening, and the sacramental services for that evening instead of the afternoon of Friday, at a quarter to eight o'clock, in the First Church.' ' . The report of the standing committee on Church erection was read by Alexander Reed. A summary of the year's work is given, as follows: Two hundred and twenty churches in twenty-eight States and Territories, representing more than one hundred Presbyteries, bad received aid ; the appropriations made amount to $145,292.22, showing an average ot about six hundred and sixty dollars to each church, an increase on tbe average ofi former years. The receipts of tbe year were 1150,299.28, namely : receipts from churcbes, including special contribu tions, 897,025.07; individual, 26,lbo.l5; legacies, $9,230.86; lent on permanent fund morrgage, $5,874.04 ; sale of real estate in Missouri, 7 ,714.13 ; from Memorial Committee, $10,288.40 ; thus show ing an increase not only in the sum total over both boards of last year, but in tbe number of churches contributing to this cause. There are some six hundred organized congregations to-day without bonsee or worsbip. The following resolutions were recom mended for adoption : 1. That the Assembly gratefully ac knowledge the abundant blessing of the head of the church npon this work in the past, and commends it to tbe prayerful consideration of ministers and members of onr cburcb. 2. That it is manifest tbe gifts of God's people to this department are far, far below tbe demands of Mis providence. Where so many hundreds of organized congregations are yet without bouses ri worship, and the Assembly wonld again urge the necessity of annual and liberal contributions from each church for this cause. Rev. Dr. Henry Wilson, of St. Louis, Secretary of the Board, addressed the Assembly on the work of church extension and its needs. He was followed by Rev. Brown of St. Paul, Rev. Dr. Dickey of St. Louis, Rev. Brown of Nevada, and Rev. Bergen of Springfield, explanatory of the wants of the missionary fields and frontier regions, with reference to houses of worship and the difficulties in the way. Pending the consideration of the report, adjourned to 2:30 this afternoon. 88lrES OF THE DAT. Trae Vaarae mt the Democracy ia the Preaeat Crisis af the Caaatry The Ceaatitatiea As It la A Letter Treat Jaha Qaiacy Altai. The following letter from John Qnincy Adams, late the Democratic candidate for Governor of Massachusetts, to a citizen of Missouri, has been given to tbe world through the columns of tbe St. Louis Republican : Qfiscv, May 6, 1371. , Warren KaUey, Enq.: Dear Sir : I have the honor to ac knowledge the receipt of a communication from you enclosing two extracts from newspapers npon which you request my criticism ; and I inter from your fetter that you wish to learn my opinion upon the public questions discussed in those articles. You are quite welcome to know them if vou are willing to accept them as simply the speculation of an individual. 1 represent nooouy, and uo not uoass a follower in the world ; nor do I know that my notions are shared by any con siderable portion ot any party. The people of the United States feel instinctively that they are going wrong, but they are told that it will be dangerous to retrace their steps. Tbey know that the path upon which they have en tered is beset witb pitiails ; but even a bad pass is better than the precipice. The Bweep of reaction is stayed by the dread of revolution, i ne policy ot snrewa Democrats and the duty of good citizens is to dispel this apprehension, no matter how foolish it may seem to them. Short of honor and good faith no sacrifice shonld be deemed severe which wonld suffice to lay that haunting spectre. For that reason I deplore the baiting, hesi tating step with which tbe Democracy is sneaking np to its inevitable position. For this cause 1 share your regret at tne tndions ambiguity which seems to searob for a sally-port through which to dodge its destiny. And while I bettor like the spirit, I equally condemn the policy of those who only proclaimed tneir purpose of revolution. Such indications of sen timent annoy me, Bimply because they prolong a situation fraught with great danger to the dearest interests of us all. The dominant party oan retain a power wbicb has grown too great tor tne puoiio welfare only by an indefinite extension of the moral conditions of the civil war. The Republican organization can rally to no cry bat a slogan ana conquer under no standard but a spear. That party needs Btrife to insure its sucoess, but good feeling is necessary for good government. Now, the hostility to tbe btteentn amendment is the stock in trade of the fomenters of strife; is worth gratifying at the risk of permanent subjection? The South is galled to-day not by the presence of that amendment to the Constitution, but by the utter absence of the Constitution itself. They feel a Congress which assaults them, but they find no Constitution to protect them. Is it not silly, then, to squabble about an amendment which would cease to be obnoxious if it was not detaohed from its context? It is quibbling npon a technicality of law and relinquishing the substance of liberty. The constitution was strucK down by the assault upon Sumter, as all constitutions must necessarily fall before the face of the supreme arbitrament ot war. It can never be lifted up while war is flagrant. Tbe people will never re sign the attitude of hostile vigilance, which is the real significance ot tbe present administration, nntil they know that no one of their war trophies is longer disputed. Then they will gladly reseme tbe habits which tbey love and tne gooa nature which they repress. What then is tbe meaning ot the grotesque contortions of those who profess a fondness for camels ana yet strain so fantastically at tnis gnat T For the essenoe of all Democracy is equality nothing but the equality oi all men before the law. Equal and exact justice to every man. and each to share in the government of all. That is the only genuine Democratic doctrine, But who dares face an intelligent people with tbat testimony upon bis lips, and denounce a measure which is too Democratic for Democrats only because the enfranchised are black f Surely the Northern Democracy should not be forced into such stupidities by the cousci entious scruples of their Southern broth- ren. Deference is doubtless dne to their Constitutional qualms, and yet some lenity towards' revolutionary processes of amendment might be reasonably ex pected from supporters of secession. If we can condone the fault, is it too much to ask paroled prisoners of war to pardon itt" "" No ! Ybo have given' our cry, " Universal amnesty and universal suffrage." I would only add the constitutional Union of the States. For the old Constitution is just as good as ever it was for South as well as North, in spite ot the marks of the mailed band which mast remain upon it for a warning to those that come after us. There is nothing in it now which is not perfectly compatible with the happiness,' welfare, and liberty of all the people ofall the States. ' It is only the administration tbat is at fault, it is the interpretation which is violent. Do you imagine that. Thomas Jefferson, do you think that James Madison would say their old orgaaic frame permits a protective tariff or paper money ; authorizes national banks or presidential diplomacy ; countenances military tribunals ; centralization, and the crowning and perfect infamy of the Ku-Klux bill ? It never was the Constitution which invaded or conquered a State ; it is not the Constitution which oppresses the States. It was war civil war. Close the war, and you restore self-government to the people of the States. If they cannot secure tbeir own peace and happiness, let us look around next year, not for the next President, but for tbe first dictator.

Adahs. ABOUT HAIR. Aa Bear ia a Hair-Inapartiag Ware-heaae Natare Aad Exleat af the Baaiaeaa ia the Real aaal Artificial Article. ' In a recent number of the London Daily Ken t appeared a long and interesting account from its "own commissioner" on the subject, in which be gave an account of his visit to the largest of the London hair-importing warehouses. A condensation of bis narative will be as good a way as any of giving the reader an idea of tbe nature and extent of the business. On entering the premises he saw npon a sort of bench, four or five feet in width and extending the whole length of the warehouse front, a number of what are technically called "heads" of hair, resembling small horsetails, and tightly bound together at one end. These heads, or, more properly, tails, were in lengths of from eighteen to twenty inches, soft and silky in texture, and many were of rare shades of color; there were also chestnut, auburn, flaxen, golden, red, brown, blaok and gray. They were heaped in hundreds on the bench before mentioned. Behind this was another bench similarly laden; all around there were racks thickly festooned; under the great benoh were bales decked in canvas: some of them as large as trusses of bay, and tbe warehouseman, with bare-arms, was pulling out hands-ful of the tightly-packed "heads" and sorting them. He had just opened a consignment of 200 weight, and said there was 1,700 bnndred weight more waiting for bim at the docks. The weight of hair annually imported into London is estimated by tons; but the "commissioner" appears not to bave ascertained how many are actually received. The principal part of it comes from South Germany, and that quarter of the world yields a greater abundance of the fashionable color, yellow, than any other. The German girls, however, never part with the entire crop ; they generally sell a piece of the center of their back hair. The average value of a "head" is 70 cents. The hair-buyers or " cutters," as they are technically termed are peddlers as well, aad never pay witb cash when they can barter for a shearing. They are not the exporters, however. They are in tbe employ ot tne wboiesaie dealer, who entrusts them with money and goods, and allows them a commission on the harvest. Hair is also imported from Italy and Roumania. An attempt has been made to open a trade with Japan ; but, though tbe Japanese girls were willing to sell their hair, it was found to be too much like horse bair to suit the English market. The most valuable bair of all, owing to its scarcity, is gray. The trade pay a high price for this article, because it is in great demand among elderly ladies, and it is very difficult to obtain a sufficient supply of it. Besides tbe bair cut from the beads of the living, the importers purchase "dead hair." Bat this technical term does not signify that the hair has been cut from the dead, as tbe word znigbt seem to imply. "Dead bsir is that which has been pulled out of the scalp in the ordi nary process of combing and brushing,and is removed from tbe comb and tbe brush when the operation is over. These de tached waifs of hair are usually thrown away ; but it appears that in Italy, whenoe the principal supply ot "dead hair" comes, poor women have a habit of throwing them into the street gutter; out of this they are fished np by the scavenger, who sells tliem to persons skilled in disentangling these little tufts, and they sort tbem as to lengtb and color, and send them to market. As a rule, these tufts of dead bair are snorter tban tbe live hair, and worth about one third less; but they, are cleaner, and many hundreds weight of them are used in England annually. It takes about two ounoes of false bair to make a re spectable chignon, but this is done by the professional artist in bair, ' wbo, oy his machinery for the preparation of it, insures its absolute cleanliness, were it not for this, it would not be pleasant to think of what might be the consequences of wearing hair obtained in the manner above described. TAJIHA.W HAL, I. Referna aad Retreachmeat Aa Illua. tratiea af Democratic Economy. Correspondence of the Boston Foetl New Tote, May 17. 1871, Much abused Tammany has commenced the retrenchment policy which its oppo nents said it bad no thought of adopting, The new Board of Apportionment, con sisting of the Mayor, Controller, Com missioner of Public Works, and President of the Department of Parks, has resolved to reduce all salaries of $5,00Q and up wards twenty per cent., and to make t reduction of fifty per cent, in the the gen eral expenses of the City Government. Messrs. Hall, Connolly, Tweed and Sweeny bave thus shown that their nromise to economise was sincere, and not merely given to make political oapital. Under the new act relating to expenditures all estimates nave 10 De examined and passed npon by the Board ef Apportionment. The examination bas taken Dlaoe. and tne appropriations ai lowed to the various departments are iuBt fifty per cent, below tbe estimates. The reduction oi salaries anecis almost every man holding a prominent position in the city government, including the four wbo have resolved to make it. The cutting down of appropriations for the departments will necessitate the dis charge of a large number of attaches, and this is what the Republican press bas fre quently sad that Tammany wonld not dare to do. Bnt the order to retrench bas gone forth and will not he raecin.rt.ed, The policy now inaugurated bad been detenu ined on before Mr. Tweed carried his tax bill through tbe Legislature, and it will not be abandoned. Tammany , is resolved to show the whole country that a Demoeratio administration eaa be economical as well as good. It means to refute tbe charges of extravagance and corruption so recklessly preferred against it by Republican papers, by a practical uinstrauon ot economical government, even at the personal expense of its own chief members. Instead of talking about reform, as the other side does, it goes straight at the work and accomplishes it at once, ut course ine uepublican press refuses to give Tammany any credit for its services to the tax-payers, and even attempts . to shew that no credit , is due ; but the people look at its work fairly, and admit that' it is good work and worthy of approbation. There is not a man connected with Tammany Hall who will not lose money in some way by the reduction of city expenses, yet I understand that all approve it, and long before this course was determined on-1 heard some prominent Tammany men . advocate it strongly. Despite all the. derogation and abuse of Tammany that the Republican press bas E polished, that organization stands igher in the confidence of the New York public to-day than it did twenty years age, and undoubtedly the present re trenchment movement will elevate it still more in popular esteem. Tammany is not exactly without stain or reproach, but certainly it would be difficult to find a large political organization freer than it is from either. CWDER-GROITIVD. Sahiorraaraa Wella aa the .avlte The fact that a large and steady flow of gas had been obtained by boriog into the earth at various points on tbe Lake Erie shore, led the Buffalo Gas Company to put down a well in that city in tbe expectation of reaching gas. The work was begun on the 1st of February, and is now completed. The first vein of gas was struck at the depth of three hundred and eighteen feet, and the gas fissures gave out their contents at nearly regular distances -ot twenty feet there after. At the depth of six hundred and thirty feet the salt water was thrown ont of the well with such violence as to show there was a strong impelling force beneath it. The water was then pumped out and the well was tubed, when the gas began to flow freely. Tbe tube, a two- inch one, was pat ia the latter part of issc weeK, ana ine now bas been regular from that time in quantity sufficient to furnish fuel for a large manufacturing establishment. At the gas-house the natural gas did the work of the ordinary fael for fur- naoes, small quantities of coke being supplied in addition now and then. In tbe retort bouse its illuminating powers were tested through about twenty pipes. It did not work well through the ordi nary burners ; but these being removed and full vent allowed to it, it gave all the light necessary, though a clear steady light is not essential for the work to be one there. The light is not bright and clear like that from coal gas. and it showed a liability to disturbance by the action of tbe atmosphere. The subter ranean gas is found all the way from .Buffalo to Cleveland. At Painesville, Ohio, a well 550 feet deep is yielding an enormous volume of gas. This well is located about two miles from the lake. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

Iff PARIS AT LAST. The new thi noroiDg thows that the QoTWout tfoopa and tbo insurgents are at oloao aaarters in tbe ftreets of Pari. ( 'The VersailliaU effected their first oatraooa within the walls on Sunday afternoon, and for tbo aext twenty-fonr hoars poared large masses of troops into tbe city, no til tbe force yesterday ning reached seventy or sigbty thousand man. Marshal MacMahon bad established bis keadqnarters in tbe city, and waa paabing bis troops against the ' barricades erected in the streets by tbe Commnaista. The slaughter of OoTern-ment troops in attacking these defences, with erery boose on each side of them an improvised fortrtsa, most bare been fearful. The insurgents were making tbeir final stand at the Hotel de Tille, bat every confidence is expressed in tbe speedy and complete triumph of tbe Government. The Commune organization may fall to pieces at any moment. THE ' COtTTr C!rTK?rTIO!f. For a detailed report of the proceedings of the Demoeratio County Convention, including tbe vote cast at the primary elections, as canvassed by tbe County Committee, tbe reader is referred to another part of to-day's paper. . Tbe ticket nominated baa already been indicated. Messrs. Clark Wnrra and Wm. L. Robs for Representatives have both had legislative experience, are gen tlemen of practical abilities and high integrity of character. Sheri ff Thom pson, renominated, is justly held in great esteem by citizens of every shade of politics. He baa made one of tbe beet Sheriff tbe county has ever bad. We hardly think the opposition will go through tbe idle formality of patting up a candidate against him. Mr. Lokwknstzix, renominated for Clerk of Court by a pin. rality of over five hundred votes, has also made a most efficient officer during his term of service. Prompt, courteous, and faithful in tbe discbarge of all duties, bis office is a model one for the speedy and correct transaction of business. J. P. Bkcck for Commissioner, Taxft-TomHOFF for Infirmary Directory, Patrick Eagan for Coroner, and Josiah Kixxxar for Connty Surveyor, bave all been renominated for tbe - respective offices they now fill ; and fill, , so far as we bave beard, to tbe public satisfaction. The number of votes cast in the county at tbe primary election was in the neigh borhood of 3,500 a little in excess of one-half tbe Democratic vote of last fall. : The Convection decided it to be inexpedient to lay down any platform in view of the near approach of the State Convention. A resolution was adopted ioatraeting the delegates elected to tbe State Convention to support General Thomas Ewiho for Governor. Tbe del- . egation is a strong one, and is beaded by tbe names of Hon. II. J. Jiwrrr and 'Colonel Gkorge W. Manypksny. We thick It was an absurdity to instruct these gentlemen and thpir associates fcr General Ewixo or any other person men tioned In connection witb tbe guberna' torial nomination. They are perfectly competent to take a sensible view of tbe field, and determine,' on their own responsibility as Democrats, who it 1s to the interest of tbe party to nominate. We say this in no spirit of opposition to General Ewing, for we believe be is the first choice of the delegation and of tbe Democracy of the connty; but we believe it to be inexpe dient in view of tbe exceptional character of tbe political situation to hamper the i 4alMataa bv instractions. They shonld be allowed the fullest liberty to do what will best promote Demooratie success, . and a sale conclusion on in at point can twi iwanhak aftar eansnltation with reoresentativea from all parte of the , State. Tbe method of making future nomina tioos was referred to tbe county committee. The popular vote system would he generally acceptable but for the fact t that it places tbe country districts at a disadvantage. Some medium gronnd should be arrived at which will do equal and exact justice to both town and : , country. TBLBOBIBI IN BaYIK. - ? ,.

The headquarters of General Cissey, whose forces entered tbe city from tbe south, are in the Eoole Militaire, which fronts tbe Champs de Mars. There was a great explosion this atternoon near the Esplanade des Invalidea. The city is in tremendous commotion. From the windows in the west front of the Tull- leries, tbe scene of conflict can be distinctly seen.

It is now stated that he and his command are surrounded and will probably be captured. , THE 8CCCI8S OF THE VERSAILLES OOV- KRMENT London, May 22. All communication with Paris is suspended. The Northern Railroad has been cnt by the Prussians. The bombardment of tbe fortifications of Paris still held by the Federalists con tinnes. A dispatch from Versailles says Paris is completely isolated by the Prus sians and no one has arrived from there sinoe midnight. The Timet dispatch at Versailles says half the army is within tbe walls and holds tbe gates of St. Cloud, Passy Antenil, Troeadero, and Muette, as well as the Arch of Trinmpb. Heavy firing ia heard in tbe Champs Elysees. Sixteen thousand Versailles troops entered Van Girard and Montrouge. THE ENTRY INTO PARIS. New York, May 22. A special cor respondent at Versailles last night tele graphed fall particulars of the manner the Government forces entered Paris. Captain Treogo, of the navy, went from the trenches to the ramparts at Pont de Jour, and finding the insurgents retired called three hundred sailors and took possession of tbe gate. Other troops followed, and before any one was aware the entry bad commenced. Not a rifle fired, nor a man wounded. The whole thing was unexpected. A white flag was bung out at AnteuiL Another brigade of Versaillists has entered Porte Montrouge, and troops are pouring down on both sides. It is reported that the Arc de Triomphe bas been erected, and that tbe insurgents made bnt .a slight resistance. The gnns on tbe rampart have been turned on the Communists. Twenty thousand men are under Issy, and forty thousand ere moving on the open gates. ANOTHER STORY.

The Senate was engaged five hours to day on the treaty. Messrs. Davis, of Kentucky, and Tburman, of Ohio, made speeches; though not opposing the treaty they severally indicated amendments which they desired to be made. It is said the latter gentleman expressed a doubt as to the wisdom of incorporating in tbe new rules or in tbe laws of nations, the prohibition against neutrals building or equipping vessels for bellig erents, believing that this subject should be left to the operation of municipal law. Thus far but one Senator has mentioned bow he will vote on the treaty, and this will be in opposition to it. SUDDEN ILLNESS OF MR. COLFAX. During tbe proceedings to-day, near the close of tbe session, Vice President Colfax, feeling sick, requested Senator Pomeroy to occupy bis place. Directly the latter reached the chair Colfax left tbe platform, and on his way out, suddenly becoming dizzy would bave fallen heavily to the floor but for the efforts of Mr. Blagg, principal legislative clerk, who was conducting him from the Chamber. Major McDonald, chief clerk, and Captain Bassett, door-keeper, immediately repaired to the scene, as did Senators in that vicinity, and be was conveyed to bis room. The occurrence caused a temporary sensation. Business was resumed as soon as it was ascertained that the sickness was not believed to be of an alarming character. Tbe remainder of tbe session was consumed in desultory conversation as to fixing some time for taking a vote on the ratification of tbe treaty. No conclusion was reached on that question. Several Senators said this eveniuc that the Sen- ate will probably vote on the ratification j on Wednesday or Thursday,' while another one remarked that an effort will S be made to-morrow to complete the business, even if a night session be necessary ' for that purpose. When Vice President Colfax was car- Iried to his room he was laid npon a sofa, and Drs. Bliss and MoCoy promptly . summoned. Tbey immediately applied proper remedies, wnen tne patient seemed to be much relieved. After the joarnment of the Senate, numerous Senators of both parties visited him. Mr. Colfax's sickness was probably causea uy iuo oiuoe atmosphere iu the Senate Chamber, as all the doors are closed during the executive sessions. The Vice President remained at bis room in the cnpitol, and was to-night conversing with friends. THE TREATY PUBLICATION. The Senate select committee on privileges held a long session to-night at the Capitol. They examined among others the foreman of the Government printing offioe and Mr. C A. Tinker, Superintendent of the Western Union Telegraph Company's office in this city. The object in summoning the latter was doubtless for the purpose of requiring him to produce before the committee the manu script copy of the Treaty telegraphed here on the night of the 11th. PROCEEDINGS OF THE SENATE. Mr. Sumner risinor to a personal expla nation called attention to what purport ed to be a report of a speech made by bim last Friday in executive session published in the New .York Herald of Saturday. Mr. Trumhnll, interrupting, remarked, "and so ofall reports of executive sessions of several days past, thev were all inventions." Mr. Sumner, resuming, said that all reports which he had seen of what were called his speech- were pure invention, tie hoped wher ever these reports had gone this contra diction would lollow. t isner Ames saia that a lie would travel from Maine to Georgia while truth was patting on his boots. Mr. Wilson otlerred a resolution which lies over, that the Sergeant-at- Arms be directed to discharge .. L. White and H. J. Ramsdall immediately after the final adjonrnment of the special session of the Senate, Mr. Edmunds remarked that as the Senator from Massachusetts had seen proper to make a personal explanation he wished to say, as a report appeared a dav or two azo that be bad made speech expressing great hostility to the Dress, ttaat be baa maae no speecn wnat- var on the subject or on anvthiocr else. The subject of the press was not alluded to in executive cession ty any senator. Mr. Sumner ottered a resolution, which lies ever, that Messrs. White and Hams dell, who are in the close custody of the Sereeant-at-Arms, be discharged from custody forthwith. Mr. Pomeroy ottered a resolution, wmcb was adopted, that the clerks of tbe sev. eral standing committees be paid from tbe 1st to tbe 3 1st ot May. Mr. Trumbull, from tbe Committee on Judiciary, to whom was referred the reso lution to inquire wbetber Senators are entitled to mileage for attendiug the present extraordinary session, reported thereon to the effect that Senators are not. under the law. entitled to in i lease On motion of Mr. Cameron, the Senate went into executive session. THE RETICENT CORRESPONDENTS The act of 1857 provides that when any witness shall refuse to answer ques tions put oy any committee oi citner branob of Congress, the fact shall be re ported to the Senate or House, when it shall be the duty of the presiding officer to certify the same to the District Attor ney, in order tbat ine matter may be brought before the grand jury. The Vice President, on Saturday, followed this course with regard to Messrs. White and Kamsdeil. PAYING BACK THK STATUS. Seoretary Boutwell has given some at tention to the quest ion of paying the in terest on the moneys advanced for war purposes by the several States. The sub ject has ali6ady been discussed in Con Kress. The amount of this interest would it is calculated, be about fifty per cent of the whole claim. Some States as, for instance, Indiana and Minnesota sold their bonds at a large discount in order to secure the needed funds for eqnippin and sending troops forward This di 1 count is made a claim against the General Government. If this is abandoned, bow ever, Treasury officials believe that the claims for interest may yet be allowed by Congress. SUPERVISOR FOB SOUTHERN OHIO. R. G.

Woodhnll has addressed a letter to the New York papers. Apropos of the recent law suit, she says that one of the charges made against her ia tbat "I lived in the same house with my former husband, Dr. Woodhnll, and my present husband, Colonel Blood. This is a fact. Dr. Woodhnll being sick and incapable of self-support, I felt it my duty to myself and human nature tbat be should be cared for. Although his inca pacity was in no wise attributable tome, my present husband, Colonel Blood, not only approves of this charity, but co operates in it. I esteem it one of the most virtuous acts oi my me, nut various editors have stigmatized me a living example of immorality and nnchastity. I do not intend to be made the scapegoat to be offered as a victim to society, by those wh9 cover over the foulness of their lives and frnitfulness of their thoughts with a hypocritical mantle of fair professions, and by diverting public attention from their own iniquity, in pointing the finger at me. I know that many of my self-appointed judges and critics are deeply troubled with the vices tbey condemn. I live in the house with one who was my husband. I live as wife with one who is ray husband. I believe in spiritualism. I am an advo cate of free love, in its highest and purest sense, as the only cure for the immorality, the deep damnation by which men corrupt and disfigure God's most holy institution, the sexual relation."

ASSEMBLY P recreates; af Yesterday' Seaaiea Krpart af the Caanmittee aa Charvh Errrtiaa Mlalialica af Ai, Chicago, May , lg7i, The Presbyterian General Assembly met at nine o'clock this morning. Half an hour was devoted to prayer meeting- Two communications from the Presby terian Historical Society, addressed the Moderator, were referred to the Com mittee on Bills and Overtures. On motion of F.x Governor Pollock, the following resolution of fraternal greeting was called np from the docket, adopted, and ordered to be transmitted in the usual official forms: f : Betolred, That tbe Baptist Church now by the annual meetings of its societies aesemsied in this eity et Chicago, tbe Moderator and Stated Clerk of the Assembly, are requested to express our fraternal greeting, our prayers foe the blessing of God on their present meetings. and ear congratulations npon their suc- eeav ana nope, tor tbeir luture pros-perityi' The report on the Say re Institute, at Lekiogton, Kentucky, was taken up from the docket and referred to tbe special eommittee composed Of C. Perkins, chairman, and Messrs. Pollock, - Ernst, Ely and McKee, after a running debate of some length. . The delivery of the memorial sermon by Rev. Dr.' Prentiss- and one by Rev, Thomas H. Skinner, was changed- to Thursday evening, and the sacramental services for that evening instead of the afternoon of Friday, at a quarter to eight o'clock, in the First Church.' ' . The report of the standing committee on Church erection was read by Alexander Reed. A summary of the year's work is given, as follows: Two hundred and twenty churches in twenty-eight States and Territories, representing more than one hundred Presbyteries, bad received aid ; the appropriations made amount to $145,292.22, showing an average ot about six hundred and sixty dollars to each church, an increase on tbe average ofi former years. The receipts of tbe year were 1150,299.28, namely : receipts from churcbes, including special contribu tions, 897,025.07; individual, 26,lbo.l5; legacies, $9,230.86; lent on permanent fund morrgage, $5,874.04 ; sale of real estate in Missouri, 7 ,714.13 ; from Memorial Committee, $10,288.40 ; thus show ing an increase not only in the sum total over both boards of last year, but in tbe number of churches contributing to this cause. There are some six hundred organized congregations to-day without bonsee or worsbip. The following resolutions were recom mended for adoption : 1. That the Assembly gratefully ac knowledge the abundant blessing of the head of the church npon this work in the past, and commends it to tbe prayerful consideration of ministers and members of onr cburcb. 2. That it is manifest tbe gifts of God's people to this department are far, far below tbe demands of Mis providence. Where so many hundreds of organized congregations are yet without bouses ri worship, and the Assembly wonld again urge the necessity of annual and liberal contributions from each church for this cause. Rev. Dr. Henry Wilson, of St. Louis, Secretary of the Board, addressed the Assembly on the work of church extension and its needs. He was followed by Rev. Brown of St. Paul, Rev. Dr. Dickey of St. Louis, Rev. Brown of Nevada, and Rev. Bergen of Springfield, explanatory of the wants of the missionary fields and frontier regions, with reference to houses of worship and the difficulties in the way. Pending the consideration of the report, adjourned to 2:30 this afternoon. 88lrES OF THE DAT. Trae Vaarae mt the Democracy ia the Preaeat Crisis af the Caaatry The Ceaatitatiea As It la A Letter Treat Jaha Qaiacy Altai. The following letter from John Qnincy Adams, late the Democratic candidate for Governor of Massachusetts, to a citizen of Missouri, has been given to tbe world through the columns of tbe St. Louis Republican : Qfiscv, May 6, 1371. , Warren KaUey, Enq.: Dear Sir : I have the honor to ac knowledge the receipt of a communication from you enclosing two extracts from newspapers npon which you request my criticism ; and I inter from your fetter that you wish to learn my opinion upon the public questions discussed in those articles. You are quite welcome to know them if vou are willing to accept them as simply the speculation of an individual. 1 represent nooouy, and uo not uoass a follower in the world ; nor do I know that my notions are shared by any con siderable portion ot any party. The people of the United States feel instinctively that they are going wrong, but they are told that it will be dangerous to retrace their steps. Tbey know that the path upon which they have en tered is beset witb pitiails ; but even a bad pass is better than the precipice. The Bweep of reaction is stayed by the dread of revolution, i ne policy ot snrewa Democrats and the duty of good citizens is to dispel this apprehension, no matter how foolish it may seem to them. Short of honor and good faith no sacrifice shonld be deemed severe which wonld suffice to lay that haunting spectre. For that reason I deplore the baiting, hesi tating step with which tbe Democracy is sneaking np to its inevitable position. For this cause 1 share your regret at tne tndions ambiguity which seems to searob for a sally-port through which to dodge its destiny. And while I bettor like the spirit, I equally condemn the policy of those who only proclaimed tneir purpose of revolution. Such indications of sen timent annoy me, Bimply because they prolong a situation fraught with great danger to the dearest interests of us all. The dominant party oan retain a power wbicb has grown too great tor tne puoiio welfare only by an indefinite extension of the moral conditions of the civil war. The Republican organization can rally to no cry bat a slogan ana conquer under no standard but a spear. That party needs Btrife to insure its sucoess, but good feeling is necessary for good government. Now, the hostility to tbe btteentn amendment is the stock in trade of the fomenters of strife; is worth gratifying at the risk of permanent subjection? The South is galled to-day not by the presence of that amendment to the Constitution, but by the utter absence of the Constitution itself. They feel a Congress which assaults them, but they find no Constitution to protect them. Is it not silly, then, to squabble about an amendment which would cease to be obnoxious if it was not detaohed from its context? It is quibbling npon a technicality of law and relinquishing the substance of liberty. The constitution was strucK down by the assault upon Sumter, as all constitutions must necessarily fall before the face of the supreme arbitrament ot war. It can never be lifted up while war is flagrant. Tbe people will never re sign the attitude of hostile vigilance, which is the real significance ot tbe present administration, nntil they know that no one of their war trophies is longer disputed. Then they will gladly reseme tbe habits which tbey love and tne gooa nature which they repress. What then is tbe meaning ot the grotesque contortions of those who profess a fondness for camels ana yet strain so fantastically at tnis gnat T For the essenoe of all Democracy is equality nothing but the equality oi all men before the law. Equal and exact justice to every man. and each to share in the government of all. That is the only genuine Democratic doctrine, But who dares face an intelligent people with tbat testimony upon bis lips, and denounce a measure which is too Democratic for Democrats only because the enfranchised are black f Surely the Northern Democracy should not be forced into such stupidities by the cousci entious scruples of their Southern broth- ren. Deference is doubtless dne to their Constitutional qualms, and yet some lenity towards' revolutionary processes of amendment might be reasonably ex pected from supporters of secession. If we can condone the fault, is it too much to ask paroled prisoners of war to pardon itt" "" No ! Ybo have given' our cry, " Universal amnesty and universal suffrage." I would only add the constitutional Union of the States. For the old Constitution is just as good as ever it was for South as well as North, in spite ot the marks of the mailed band which mast remain upon it for a warning to those that come after us. There is nothing in it now which is not perfectly compatible with the happiness,' welfare, and liberty of all the people ofall the States. ' It is only the administration tbat is at fault, it is the interpretation which is violent. Do you imagine that. Thomas Jefferson, do you think that James Madison would say their old orgaaic frame permits a protective tariff or paper money ; authorizes national banks or presidential diplomacy ; countenances military tribunals ; centralization, and the crowning and perfect infamy of the Ku-Klux bill ? It never was the Constitution which invaded or conquered a State ; it is not the Constitution which oppresses the States. It was war civil war. Close the war, and you restore self-government to the people of the States. If they cannot secure tbeir own peace and happiness, let us look around next year, not for the next President, but for tbe first dictator. Now. if vou or any other man doubt the soundness of my judgment in this matter, all I ask is a true Democratic administration and you shall see it for yourself. Yours, very respectfully, Johs Q. Adahs. ABOUT HAIR. Aa Bear ia a Hair-Inapartiag Ware-heaae Natare Aad Exleat af the Baaiaeaa ia the Real aaal Artificial Article. ' In a recent number of the London Daily Ken t appeared a long and interesting account from its "own commissioner" on the subject, in which be gave an account of his visit to the largest of the London hair-importing warehouses. A condensation of bis narative will be as good a way as any of giving the reader an idea of tbe nature and extent of the business. On entering the premises he saw npon a sort of bench, four or five feet in width and extending the whole length of the warehouse front, a number of what are technically called "heads" of hair, resembling small horsetails, and tightly bound together at one end. These heads, or, more properly, tails, were in lengths of from eighteen to twenty inches, soft and silky in texture, and many were of rare shades of color; there were also chestnut, auburn, flaxen, golden, red, brown, blaok and gray. They were heaped in hundreds on the bench before mentioned. Behind this was another bench similarly laden; all around there were racks thickly festooned; under the great benoh were bales decked in canvas: some of them as large as trusses of bay, and tbe warehouseman, with bare-arms, was pulling out hands-ful of the tightly-packed "heads" and sorting them. He had just opened a consignment of 200 weight, and said there was 1,700 bnndred weight more waiting for bim at the docks. The weight of hair annually imported into London is estimated by tons; but the "commissioner" appears not to bave ascertained how many are actually received. The principal part of it comes from South Germany, and that quarter of the world yields a greater abundance of the fashionable color, yellow, than any other. The German girls, however, never part with the entire crop ; they generally sell a piece of the center of their back hair. The average value of a "head" is 70 cents. The hair-buyers or " cutters," as they are technically termed are peddlers as well, aad never pay witb cash when they can barter for a shearing. They are not the exporters, however. They are in tbe employ ot tne wboiesaie dealer, who entrusts them with money and goods, and allows them a commission on the harvest. Hair is also imported from Italy and Roumania. An attempt has been made to open a trade with Japan ; but, though tbe Japanese girls were willing to sell their hair, it was found to be too much like horse bair to suit the English market. The most valuable bair of all, owing to its scarcity, is gray. The trade pay a high price for this article, because it is in great demand among elderly ladies, and it is very difficult to obtain a sufficient supply of it. Besides tbe bair cut from the beads of the living, the importers purchase "dead hair." Bat this technical term does not signify that the hair has been cut from the dead, as tbe word znigbt seem to imply. "Dead bsir is that which has been pulled out of the scalp in the ordi nary process of combing and brushing,and is removed from tbe comb and tbe brush when the operation is over. These de tached waifs of hair are usually thrown away ; but it appears that in Italy, whenoe the principal supply ot "dead hair" comes, poor women have a habit of throwing them into the street gutter; out of this they are fished np by the scavenger, who sells tliem to persons skilled in disentangling these little tufts, and they sort tbem as to lengtb and color, and send them to market. As a rule, these tufts of dead bair are snorter tban tbe live hair, and worth about one third less; but they, are cleaner, and many hundreds weight of them are used in England annually. It takes about two ounoes of false bair to make a re spectable chignon, but this is done by the professional artist in bair, ' wbo, oy his machinery for the preparation of it, insures its absolute cleanliness, were it not for this, it would not be pleasant to think of what might be the consequences of wearing hair obtained in the manner above described. TAJIHA.W HAL, I. Referna aad Retreachmeat Aa Illua. tratiea af Democratic Economy. Correspondence of the Boston Foetl New Tote, May 17. 1871, Much abused Tammany has commenced the retrenchment policy which its oppo nents said it bad no thought of adopting, The new Board of Apportionment, con sisting of the Mayor, Controller, Com missioner of Public Works, and President of the Department of Parks, has resolved to reduce all salaries of $5,00Q and up wards twenty per cent., and to make t reduction of fifty per cent, in the the gen eral expenses of the City Government. Messrs. Hall, Connolly, Tweed and Sweeny bave thus shown that their nromise to economise was sincere, and not merely given to make political oapital. Under the new act relating to expenditures all estimates nave 10 De examined and passed npon by the Board ef Apportionment. The examination bas taken Dlaoe. and tne appropriations ai lowed to the various departments are iuBt fifty per cent, below tbe estimates. The reduction oi salaries anecis almost every man holding a prominent position in the city government, including the four wbo have resolved to make it. The cutting down of appropriations for the departments will necessitate the dis charge of a large number of attaches, and this is what the Republican press bas fre quently sad that Tammany wonld not dare to do. Bnt the order to retrench bas gone forth and will not he raecin.rt.ed, The policy now inaugurated bad been detenu ined on before Mr. Tweed carried his tax bill through tbe Legislature, and it will not be abandoned. Tammany , is resolved to show the whole country that a Demoeratio administration eaa be economical as well as good. It means to refute tbe charges of extravagance and corruption so recklessly preferred against it by Republican papers, by a practical uinstrauon ot economical government, even at the personal expense of its own chief members. Instead of talking about reform, as the other side does, it goes straight at the work and accomplishes it at once, ut course ine uepublican press refuses to give Tammany any credit for its services to the tax-payers, and even attempts . to shew that no credit , is due ; but the people look at its work fairly, and admit that' it is good work and worthy of approbation. There is not a man connected with Tammany Hall who will not lose money in some way by the reduction of city expenses, yet I understand that all approve it, and long before this course was determined on-1 heard some prominent Tammany men . advocate it strongly. Despite all the. derogation and abuse of Tammany that the Republican press bas E polished, that organization stands igher in the confidence of the New York public to-day than it did twenty years age, and undoubtedly the present re trenchment movement will elevate it still more in popular esteem. Tammany is not exactly without stain or reproach, but certainly it would be difficult to find a large political organization freer than it is from either. CWDER-GROITIVD. Sahiorraaraa Wella aa the .avlte The fact that a large and steady flow of gas had been obtained by boriog into the earth at various points on tbe Lake Erie shore, led the Buffalo Gas Company to put down a well in that city in tbe expectation of reaching gas. The work was begun on the 1st of February, and is now completed. The first vein of gas was struck at the depth of three hundred and eighteen feet, and the gas fissures gave out their contents at nearly regular distances -ot twenty feet there after. At the depth of six hundred and thirty feet the salt water was thrown ont of the well with such violence as to show there was a strong impelling force beneath it. The water was then pumped out and the well was tubed, when the gas began to flow freely. Tbe tube, a two- inch one, was pat ia the latter part of issc weeK, ana ine now bas been regular from that time in quantity sufficient to furnish fuel for a large manufacturing establishment. At the gas-house the natural gas did the work of the ordinary fael for fur- naoes, small quantities of coke being supplied in addition now and then. In tbe retort bouse its illuminating powers were tested through about twenty pipes. It did not work well through the ordi nary burners ; but these being removed and full vent allowed to it, it gave all the light necessary, though a clear steady light is not essential for the work to be one there. The light is not bright and clear like that from coal gas. and it showed a liability to disturbance by the action of tbe atmosphere. The subter ranean gas is found all the way from .Buffalo to Cleveland. At Painesville, Ohio, a well 550 feet deep is yielding an enormous volume of gas. This well is located about two miles from the lake. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
